The senior at Chariho Regional High School was rushed to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

"Maddie represented the very best of our school as an artist, an athlete, a classmate, a teammate and a friend," the school principal said in a statement obtained by The Westerly Sun. "We all grieve differently, but we encourage you to remember Maddie as a bright light in Chariho, and share stories that speak to the meaningful impact she had on our community."

The statement said grief counselors would be on-site for anyone who needs to talk.

"We will work together with students to pay tribute to her life and the positive presence she was in our school," the statement said.
